Fullscreen youtube colour artefacting.

@yadrummer that's good to know, thank you very much for the info.

Same problem here:

Artefacts in bright places and around the mouse curser when viewing YouTube videos in fullscreen.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013) 10.10.5 Flux 36.3

Same issue... Just wanted to point out something I found interesting:

During fullscreen video play, at least on Youtube, If I move the cursor to bring up the interface/HUD (the progress bar, the play/pause button, the title of the video, etc.) the color issues disappear until the HUD goes away, even though I'm still in fullscreen video mode.

Also, changing the resolution to 1680x1050 as fluxxor suggested seems to work. Thanks!

Yes, I can confirm that.

Thanks all - we've reported the bug to the right people and they're trying to repro now.

@lorna any updates to this issue?

Also experiencing this issue with Intel Graphics at all resolutions on Retina MBP. Looks like you filed your bug report 3 weeks ago. Any promising leads?

No updates yet, I wish I had better news, I know this is frustrating.

I was just watching a video in full screen on Netflix (using Safari) where pure whites become blue as soon as the playback controls disappear. I have the same problem in Quicktime (which has prompted me to stop using it) but not in VLC.

When I turned off f.lux, the issue disappeared. The thing is, I don't experience the problem until f.lux reaches a certain "temperature".

I'm using an early 2015 13" MacBook Pro (Intel Iris Graphics 6100) with Flux 36.3. The most recent example is in Safari 9 in OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

Just checking in with the same problem I'm afraid. Understand you are working on a fix.

Thanks!

I've been having this problem since I've had this laptop as well. Same symptoms as everybody else-only fullscreen, doesn't happen when hud is visible, safari but not chrome.

I wonder if it's a quicktime thing--this issue happens in standalone quicktime as well, but not other programs like vlc or mplayerx, and also only in fullscreen and when the hud is not visible.

Would like to give a heads-up and also looking forward to hear an update (especially back from Intel!). Just noticed this bug a few days ago. Exactly the same experience as above. Reproducible with white videos on Safari, but not on Chrome.

Same problem here.

When playing fullscreen video in iTunes I can make the artefacts disappear by moving the cursor, this will make the video controls appear (still fullscreen), when I stop moving the cursor, as soon as the video controls disappear the artefacts are back.

@lorna It's been two months now since you guys reported this issue. Any kind of update yet? It's not just youtube. It's all fullscreen video.

Made this post some days ago https://justgetflux.com/forum/topic/416/f-lux-glitching-youtube-in-safari ,didn't found the current post earlier.

Been experiencing it since OSX 10.11 too.

Just with Safari, Chrome works fine.

Happened with Netflix too last night. :( Please fix this.

episer

Seems it has been fixed since the new update. Thank you!

analogtones

The update doesn't seem to have fixed the problem for me. Just tested fullscreen quicktime and fullscreen Netflix in Safari after updating to 36.5. Restarted my computer in hopes it would work, but no luck yet.

I have the same issue. The pixelated maxed-out bright spots occur only in fullscreen videos in Safari with no HUD. Evidence here.

No fix with the newest version.
As an addition the problem appears with videos on Kickstarter too.
